The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Chapter 1918: Changes of the Crystalline Snake

The outer area of ​​the Bone City is very large, and may even exceed the Black Swamp. Leo walked for two and a half months before he walked out of this area. The sign of walking out of this area is that the bones around are no longer so huge. Looking around, the largest bones here are only more than ten meters high, and most of them are several meters high. The outer areas that I walked through before are full of huge bones that are tens of meters or even hundreds of meters high.

In addition to the size of the bones, the pollution sources formed by the residual power in the bones are no longer as chaotic and disordered as before. The pollution sources here seem to be attracted by some kind of order and rule power, and merged together, entrenched in a small area, forming a regional pollution source seal, while other places outside this area are very clean, so clean that even the power of the abyss has become much thinner.

Along the way, because Leo deliberately restrained the power of the crystal snake on his body, he did not look very powerful, and thus attracted many abyss monsters and races living in the bone jungle to attack, and these monsters and abyss races were like experimental subjects that were automatically delivered to him, helping him to understand the biological structure of the abyss world and the habits of intelligent races in a very short time.

And when he was fighting with these abyssal creatures and races, he discovered some secrets of his own power. For example, if he used the power of the God's Punishment Mark to kill those abyssal creatures and races during the battle, then during the recovery process, the power of the God's Punishment Mark would increase a little, and he could feel that this increase was unlimited, that is, the more abyssal creatures he killed, and the stronger the power of the abyssal creatures he killed, the greater the degree of the God's Punishment Mark's increase.

Similarly, if he used the power of the God's Punishment Mark to remove those pollution sources, the power of the God's Punishment Mark could also be increased during the recovery process afterwards, but the degree of increase could not be compared with killing powerful abyssal creatures.

For this reason, Leo often stopped on the road, or took a detour, specifically looking for some abyssal creatures hiding in the bone jungle, especially those completely polluted and mutated by pollution sources, to hunt and kill, and then replenish the consumption by swallowing and transforming the power of pollution sources in large quantities.

Over the past two months, the power of the God's Punishment Mark has made great progress, and he has also gained a lot of combat experience through fighting with abyssal creatures. It is no exaggeration to say that if he encounters those abyssal snakes again, he can completely deal with them in a short time, without worrying about attracting other abyssal snakes after the stalemate.

However, these improvements are not as good as the improvement of the power of the crystallized snake. Now it seems a bit inappropriate to continue to call this power the power of the crystallized snake, because as more and more pollution sources are swallowed and digested, the power of the abyss superiors who produce pollution sources is also condensed on the crystallized snake stone pillar little by little, and the most intuitive manifestation is that the types of reliefs on the stone pillar are increasing, and the images on the reliefs are becoming clearer and clearer.

Although the power of the crystallized snake is still dominated by the crystallized snake, Leo feels that more than 30 kinds of power belonging to different abyss superiors have been generated in the power of the crystallized snake, including the power of the abyss dragon.

Leo can be sure that the change of the Crystal Snake Pillar is not caused by the Pillar Square, or not entirely because of the Pillar Square. Among the reasons for this change, the Pillar Square may only play a stimulating role. In fact, the Crystal Snake Pillar has become the Abyss Pillar that has gathered more than 30 kinds of power of the Abyss Superior. It is entirely due to the power of the Crystal Snake itself, or more accurately, the power of the Abyss Serpent in the Crystal Snake.

The core power of the Crystal Snake is actually divided into two parts. One part is the crystal power, and the other part is the Abyss Power transformed from the eyeball of the Abyss Serpent. Now it is this Abyss Power that is constantly absorbing the refined pollution sources and transforming them back to the original power of the Abyss Superior. It seems that there is some law in this Abyss Power that Leo cannot perceive.

Leo had also tried to use the Stone Throne to analyze the abyss power contained in the Crystalline Serpent, trying to find out the secret, but in the end he found nothing. It seemed that this abyss power was beyond the scope of the Stone Throne's analysis.

It must be said that this result surprised him very much, because among the various powers in his body, the power of the Crystalline Serpent was not particularly powerful, and he rarely used this power, but what he didn't expect was that there was a big secret hidden in this power. If he hadn't come to the abyss and had the devouring power to devour and transform those pollution sources, he might not have discovered this secret until now.

Although the power of the Crystalline Serpent now contains more than 30 kinds of power from the Abyss Superiors, this does not mean that the power of the Crystalline Serpent has become stronger. In fact, the power of the Crystalline Serpent is several levels weaker than before entering the control area of ​​the Bone City. The power of those Abyss Superiors is too mixed, which greatly affects the use of the power of the Crystalline Serpent. Moreover, this influence comes from the inside of the power of the Crystalline Serpent and cannot be eliminated or isolated.

However, the strength of power is not the only criterion for measuring the good or bad changes in the power of the crystal snake. In fact, the power of the abyss superiors is what Leo thinks is the most valuable gain, because he can most directly peek into the secrets of the power of these abyss superiors from different races, and these powers are still growing. Leo can thoroughly master these powers by observing this growth process, until these powers grow strong enough and condense into the exclusive abyss origin belonging to this power, he can use this to master more than 30 or even more abyss powers at the same time, and even in the end, he may be able to master the power of all the abyss superior races.

However, Leo still has some doubts in his heart, because in his opinion, behind any huge benefits are equally huge hidden dangers, and now although he has not found any hidden dangers in the changes of the power of the crystal snake, he does not think that such hidden dangers do not exist, but he just thinks that he has not discovered them yet, and he also thinks that the later the hidden dangers are discovered, the greater the adverse impact on him.

So during this period, he spent almost half of his time looking for hidden dangers in the changes of the power of the crystal snake, but the results were not satisfactory. Although he found a few minor problems, these minor problems would not cause him any trouble.

After entering the inner area of ​​​​Bone City, the number of abyss races living here also increased, and a large number of abyss plants and abyss animals grew here, which seemed to have a more civilized atmosphere.

In the previous abyss jungle, both the abyss races and abyss creatures living there seemed to be more aggressive, more violent and chaotic, while here there was a more orderly and civilized atmosphere, especially after Leo passed by the tribes and settlements built by some abyss races, most of the guards and warriors of the abyss races watched him vigilantly until he left, and would not attack immediately like the abyss races and creatures he encountered in the periphery before.

In addition, Leo also found a lot of settlements built by humans among the races settled in this area. These humans all came from the fallen worlds swallowed by the abyss. They should have reproduced in the abyss for countless generations. Their bodies were more or less polluted by the abyss and showed some mutation characteristics, but they still retained some civilization and culture of the original world. For example, from the construction methods of those human settlements, it is not difficult to see which civilization stage the fallen world they belonged to was in.

The civilization span of these human settlements is very large. The most primitive is still in the tribal civilization. The houses are arched tents built with the bones of the abyss superiors and the skins of the abyss creatures. The clothes are directly covered with the skins of the abyss beasts. The reason why they can survive here is not only because they are protected by the order and laws of the bone city, but also because most of their bodies have mutated and become gigantic. The powerful power brought by gigantism makes them have the power to resist even if they encounter some abyss creatures.

In addition, there are two settlements with the highest level of civilization among these human settlements. The worlds to which these two human settlements belong should have developed tools such as spaceships that can be used to explore extraterrestrial galaxies. Their technological level is not inferior to that of Shudania, which he met before. There are also a large number of cold weapons made of alloys in these human settlements, as well as chariots and cannons with special energy. There is even a flying vehicle in one settlement.

Although the human settlements are very civilized and most of the people living here are good at using various tools, this does not mean that they are not strong. In fact, the mutated organs of these people are concentrated in the head. For example, some people's heads are two or three times larger than those of ordinary people, some people have several pairs of eyes on their heads, and some people have some strange crystals on their heads. These humans who have been infected and mutated by the abyss often have some magical abyss secrets, which can help them deal with any external enemies. Leo felt that the abyss aura of several humans in several human settlements was not much worse than those of the abyss superiors. Although there is still a gap from the demigods, it is equivalent to the level of fifth or sixth level psychics.

In addition, after the Shudanian convoy that Leo had followed walked out of the outer bone jungle and entered this inner area, it went to a human settlement with the highest level of civilization to repair and prepare for the final trip to Bone City. The humans in that settlement also showed corresponding friendliness to these lizard-shaped intelligent creatures. It seems that this is not the first time they have dealt with each other.

Leo did not deal with these humans, but chose to bypass the tribes, camps and settlements of these abyss humans and continue to move towards the distant Bone City.

The moment he entered the inner area of ​​Bone City, Leo had already seen the Bone City in the distance. This was not because of the wide field of vision and no objects blocking his sight, but because of the changes in the abyss environment. The Bone City in the distance appeared in his eyes instantly, and when he retreated back to the outer bone jungle, even if he only stepped back one foot, the Bone City would not appear in his eyes.

The entire Bone City was cone-shaped, and was built with countless bones. It was thousands of meters high and almost connected to the golden clouds in the sky. It was because of the golden light emitted by the golden clouds that shone on the Bone City, making the pale and colorless Bone City appear golden as a whole, just like a city cast in gold. It was extremely sacred, and this sacred atmosphere was completely inconsistent with the surrounding abyss atmosphere, which made people feel a little weird.

In the eyes of the abyss creatures, the Bone City and the golden clouds in the sky were two separate entities, but in Leo's spiritual vision, he found that the Bone City and the golden clouds were actually one, and the way the two were connected was through the golden light shot down from the clouds and the golden light reflected from the Bone City to the sky. These golden lights were like the arteries and veins of the human body, repeatedly communicating and transmitting the power contained in the two.

And what shocked Leo the most was that the power supporting the existence of the Bone City and the golden clouds was not the remaining power contained in the bones of those abyss superiors, but the order law of the abyss.

Yes, the master of the Bone City, the Order Serpent, applied the law of order to the Bone City and the golden clouds, showing the full picture of the law of order to all creatures that can see these two things, and any intelligent creature that sees it can study the mystery, even if they have just walked in from the outer bone jungle.

However, the abyss races and creatures that settled here are limited by the abyss power in their bodies. They only see the golden light in their eyes and cannot really feel the law of order in the light.

Leo still has some doubts about the purpose of the Order Serpent to make the law of order public, but he can be sure that the Order Serpent is definitely not a selfless life, so even if he is shocked by these abyss law of order, he did not try to integrate it into his body, and analyzed the mystery of it through the Stone Throne. Instead, he excluded it from his body and did not let it have the opportunity to penetrate into his body.

However, if he did so, his body would have some strange phenomena around him because of the conflict with the law of order contained in the golden light, such as a layer of seven-color light around his body, etc.

To this end, he took out a special isolation cloak from the storage space and wrapped himself in it, making it look like he was blocking the golden light with the cloak instead of with his own strength. In this area, there were many abyss intelligent creatures dressed similarly to him. It seemed that the golden light full of order and laws was not a good thing for them.
